Beauty Trend: Side-Swept Hairstyles

Hairstyles at Issa's fall 2009 were inspired by It Girl Alice Dellal

While the draped pieces in Issa's fall 2009 collection were designer Daniella Helayel's sexy interpretation of monks' robes, the hairstyles had a less conservative inspiration: model Alice Dellal, who walked in Issa's show. To mimic the It Girl's half-shaved head, hairstylist Malcolm Edwards—who refers to the show's hairstyle as "Jerry Hall meets Alice Dellal"—applied L'Oréal Professionnel Tecni.Art Pli and Texture Expert Smooth Essence to damp tresses and blow-dried. Next, he swept hair over to one side using Tecni.Art Volume Lift Mousse and Fix Design, weaving the length of hair into a long braid running down the middle of the head. Masses of extensions were then added to give strands a voluminous feel reminiscent of Jerry Hall's curly side-swept '80s do.
